Think you need advice ?

Advice is a funny thing, usually a person has his/her own perception of what is wrong and right but sometimes still seeks advice. Unless in a situation where some sort of knowledge or experience is lacking, seeking advice can be somewhat a funny business.

Ever noticed how advice is there in various forms? and two people can give contrasting views on the same matter. What do you do then ? Obviously you do what your minds wants you to do, you choose the advice of whoever who said what you wanted to hear. This is mainly due to being unable to make a decision and needing that kick from someone to go ahead with what you want to do. So does advice work then? Usually you end up doing what you want to do.

Next interesting thing I noticed is how advice is asked for. Ever noticed how when asking advice you emphasis on the parts you want to tell, and perhaps purposely leave some important bits and pieces of your story out? This is again mainly in order for your benefit, your mind will make sure you tell the story not as it is, but emphasizing on the bits and pieces that you want to be heard.

Advice is mainly looked for at bad and desperate times, when you feel down, like the unluckiest person on the planet (you just remembered one situation didn't you :P ). The fact about these situations and even the good ones are that they change ! In a bad situation you can always expect a good one around the corner and the other way around. Lets go into a story shall we :)

Once upon a time... ;) There lived a young king, He usually celebrated for days over profits, victories and so on, spending quite a bit of his assets, however when things were not going as well as he expected he would stay in his castle locked up and depressed. This was seen as a problem by his advisers, and as a solution they made him a ring with the words "This will change" engraved on it. The king saw it during every situation, when he was happy he saw the ring and hence knew that it would change hence did not overly celebrate and during bad times he knew similarly that this would change and hence did not spend time depressed and repenting but rather did what he thought was best.

Seeking advice should be done carefully and with an open mind. The wrong advice could land you in a worse position that you were in to begin with. Do not rush for solutions when things are not going well, know it will change and find the best solution you can find calmly (easily said than done).

- May all beings be well and happy.
